Whole week of celebration, days of events to be shared here. The first thing that I feel about this CNY - The weather is too damn HOT! My family and I stayed at home in the daytime and go outing in the night.
There were 3 reunion dinners; my big family (Dad's side and mom's side), my own family, and my friends. The dinners were great as usual, with lots of dishes and Yeeshang. I have to admit that I used to eat more than nescessary in this kind of situation and this is really bad for my digestive system. My diet totally deviate far from my normal routine during CNY. My sleeping time as well delayed a few more hours till midnight. Apart from this, I pretty enjoyed the moment eating together with family and friends that have not seen for quite a while.
Gambling was another annual activity being held in my house in this festive seasons. My siblings and I were fond of blackjack and we played for almost everyday. While my friends preferred Mahjong. For me, gambling did improve and further enhance relationship through interactions between players. Our moods took control over our rationality during gambling. We showed funny faces and shouted excitedly whenever we got good or bad cards.
Paying a visit to relatives is a must on the first 2 days. Dad's side takes the first day while mom's side takes the second. This is when the Angpao comes to us. Sitting at their home, eating biscuits and drinks, chatting and a lot more... And then our chatters echoed and amplified from inside the house. For the first time ever, the house full of laughter and chatter can be comparable to a disco.
